Jon Heyman added Brandon Inge to the list of players who could be made available by the Tigers.

Even casual minor league followers will know Monterno, Jackson and Brackman, but Piliere points us to two more players who illustrate the depth of the Yanks' system. On Montero: At the catching position, which I believe he can stick at, few players are as valuable. You just...

The Silver Slugger awards were announced Thursday evening , so we thought it would be interesting, like with the Gold Glove awards, to look at the award from an empirical standpoint. Per MLB, "The Silver Slugger Awards are given to the players deemed to be the best offensive performers at their positions, voted on by Major League managers and coaches."
